major upgrade of my system, from Mythbuntu
12.04/fixes/0.25 to Mythbuntu 14.04/fixes/0.27. At the
same time I'm also planning to rearrange the entire file
system so that I have a relatively small (64gb) system ssd
a 250gb ssd to mount /var and a 4tb hardware RAID volume
for /home where I plan to keep all of my storage groups
and some other stuff.<br>
<br>
My plan is to backup my database to an NAS, and copy all
of my storage group directories to the NAS, do a new
install of Mythbuntu 14.04, copy the storage group
directories to /home, restore the database, make sure the
directories I set with mythsetup are correct, and go. Have
I missed something vital?<br>

Don't forget any custom scripts that you might have. Also maybe
grab any configuration files, there will be one for mythweb and
possibly one for MySQL. LIRC?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also thinking off the top of my head - grab a copy of any
custom theme(s) you might have.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Take care with host names, may need to use
mythconverg_backup.pl to change hostname(s) in database if you
want to keep your previous settings.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Going from 0.25 to 0.27 will you need to add the time zone
table to the database? I don't recall exactly when that was
added now but I suspect it will be necessary. Some settings may
then need to be modified to allow for UTC time.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>No doubt there will be permissions to correct when you move
the media files back in to the new storage group folders but
that should be pretty straightforward. </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are you reusing existing SSD's? Keeping the old system disks
intact so you can swap them back in if you happen to have
forgotten something can be a nice fallback.</div>

The entire project may have been put on an indefinite hold. I have a
test system running 0.27, still on 12.04, and have come across a
major issue. I already knew that selling the wife on losing the
'record at any time on this channel' option was not going to be
easy. Discovering that none of the filter options can be set makes
it a deal breaker. I'm testing with fixes/0.27 with Mythbuntu 28.7
theme and unfortunately for me wife was watching when I selected
Schedule Options, arrowed down to Filters and then arrowed down to
'This Channel Only' and tried to set it. I could not find a key on
the keyboard that would set that option, or any of the other options
offered. It was made perfectly clear to me that we will be using
0.25 for the foreseeable future.<br>
